Through the combined efforts of the Maryland Legislature and the Maryland Court of Appeals, a family law division concept was developed to better serve the citizens of this state. While the Maryland Rules Committee provided a basis for identification and handling of family law matters in Maryland Rule 16-204, your Circuit Court has called upon the legal community, court personnel and community-based service organizations and associated professionals to assist in the plan to better serve the interests of our county. Extensive time has been devoted to identification of family cases requiring services to make the court experience more efficient and less disruptive to the lives of the litigants.

You may hear terms like "differentiated case management" and the "one case-one master- one judge" approach to this management. What these terms really mean is the assurance that personnel familiar with the details of your particular case will address your concerns. Our changing demographics will continue to demand the court’s vigilant attention to address the needs of this community.
